To no avail I try to compile code to a certain distination.
How to compile a server application to a certain destination ( has only Makefile ) ?
Tried:
make DESTDIR=/opt/mydeamon
But this fails
Make itself has no standard way of doing installations. If the installation is done using a Makefile it is up to the Makefile author to write rules for how make should do it.
But a common way it to provide a
make installtarget and i think a common variable for specifying installation path isPREFIX.Your should probably read some README or INSTALL file or even check the Makefile file for instructions if this is a source package that you have downloaded somewhere.
